To reduce the maintenance expence, and the possibility of electric outage and accident, accurate measurement should be carried. But the classical method has some problems in the aspect of man power, reliability, and expence. In this paper, we propose a new type apparatus, which could detect the degree of contamination on insulators on outdoor insulation system, such as transmission and distribution line insulator and bushing. The new type apparatus consists of Pelltier module, electrode system, and measuring part. At first leakage current detecting method was considered, then with the fault(oxidation of electrode) of that method we should propose a another method. We carried various test to prove the possiblity and reliability of the propoused apparatus. And we get some useful result with laboratory test.

To find out the reason of accident by being stained of insulators, this paper researched and analyzed the result of electrical characteristic test and field test of EHV insulator through artificial contaminated method. The best way to evaluate contaminated level of insulator surface is getting a contamination data by regional groups continually. But it is needed a lot of time and manpower. To overcome those difficulties, this research introduced ESDD(equivalent salt deposit density) measurement method which is adapted to the international codes of IEC and compared the relation between experimental test results which contaminated insulators by going through stain procedure and electrical measurement results.

As high-tech science has developed, the need of semiconductor is required constantly. However, there are many processes which use a great deal of poisonous gas in the semiconductor process, so the dangerousness by a gas leak is latent in these processes. Especially, the accident of toxic gas is almost made by ammonia and chlorine. Therefore this report estimates the damage by the leak of ammonia and chlorine used in LPCVD system.

The fault current through the earth originated from a power line ground fault might cause arcing through the soil to an adjacent pipeline, which might bring about not only a catastrophic accident such as gas explosion and oil leakage but also a hazard to the safety of workers responsible for the maintenance and repair of the pipeline. In this paper we experimented on the soil breakdown test using the fixture and outlined the standards for the separation distance of a buried pipeline adjacent to the power line tower.

The bushing currently applied to pole-mounted type loadbreak switch has porcelain bushing which is connected with the mold cone. This type has potential problems of uncertainty of sealing of the interface part and gas leakage on the connected part between bushing and switch tank due to the weight of the porcelain. The Composite Bushing can solve these problems and also the secondary problem of the potential accident owing to the fragment of the porcelain bushing in breakage due to the outer impact.

The lower voltage distribution box of service wire has been usually employed to supply an electric power to the consumers through low voltage overhead line. Now-a-days, electric shock accident at the distribution box of service wire installed in the seashore areas has been often occurred. The reason is mainly due to the electric leakage in the distribution box of service wire. This paper described insulation breakdown mechanism of distribution box of service wire, analysis of electric shock path and safety countermeasure of distribution box of service wire.

This paper presents the development of a Gas Valve Train (GVT) control system which is the core equipment of LNG fueled vessels. Due to the increasing worldwide demand for echo friendly green ship products, domestic companies urgently require to develop a core equipments for the LNG fueled vessels to secure worldwide markets in marine engineering. A LNG fueled engine generally equips the GVT, a fuel supply system that steadily supplies clean high-pressure LNG to the engine. The GVT requires a safety operational control system that can prevent any gas leakage accident, and a system that monitors operation status in real time. Therefore, we introduces a development for GVT control and monitoring system design and the design was systematically performed by means of functional analysis and differentiation of foreign advanced products.

Recently, Korea has established a plan for the supply of hydrogen vehicles and is promoting the expansion of the supply. Risk factors for hydrogen vehicles are hydrogen leakage, jet fire, and explosion. Therefore Safety measures are necessary for this hazard. In addition, risks in semi-closed spaces such as tunnels, underground roads, and underground parking lots should be analyzed. In this study, an explosion experiment was conducted on a hydrogen tank used in a hydrogen vehicle to analyze the risk of a hydrogen vehicle explosion accident that may occur in a semi-closed space. As results, the effect on the structure and the human body was analyzed using the overpressure and impulse values for each distance generated during the explosion.

Acetone is a widely used Volatile Organic Compound (VOC) in industries and laboratories. However, acetone affects human health adversely and causes fires and explosions. Early acetone detection and improved personnel training in safety and emergency management are necessary to prevent acetone-related accidents. The multi-VOC acetone detectors used currently have a sensitivity and selectivity limit. In this study, we discovered that Pt-loaded iron oxide (a metal oxide semiconductor) conversely, has high detection and selectivity for very low-levels of acetone gas. The loaded Pt catalyzes the reaction between the sensing materials' surface and the oxygen molecules in the air; this optimizes acetone detection and can decrease acetone-related illnesses, fires and explosions.

The purpose of this study is to assess quantitatively the amount of leaks and the extent of dispersion in case of a leak at a hydrogen fluoride tank container unloading station, and to suggest a safety improvement plan to prevent recurrence of similar accidents. In 2012, Company H leaks 8 tonnes of tank containers with a maximum storage capacity of 18 Ton, causing it to become a social issue. As a result of calculation using Gaussian plume model, the concentration was estimated to be more than 20ppm from the leak point to 1,321 m radius. The leakage of hydrogen fluoride from the company R in 2014 was estimated to be 11.02 kg, of which 2.9 kg was treated by the scrubber. As a result of calculation using Gaussian plum model, the damage range with a concentration of 20ppm or more from the leak source was estimated to be 69 m in radius. As a result of comparing the above two accidents, it was found that the leakage amount was about 987 times different and the damaged site was more than 19 times different. Therefore, it was concluded that it was necessary to control the wearing of the protective equipment, the enclosure of the unloading site, the installation of the scrubber, and the emergency training to avoid the accidental leakage of a hydrogen fluoride from the unloading site.
